Seeed studio TFT touch shield, what gives?


still quite new this, have had success playing around arduino.
i have couple of uno's, r3 , r2, mega r3.

i walked radio shack today , saw kinds of new shields on rack, impulse bought few of cooler ones ( overpaid, know  :p ).

one of them being seeed studio tft touch shield.

first sketch tried loading touch screen, right away got error message ide ( 1.0 ) non ascii characters. went folder , replaced "-"s in folder name "_"s. seemed quite strange me, first question guess why name files 1 required download such arduino wont recognise them? 1.0 issue?
i loaded code uno r2 board

then wanted try tft examples, had same re-naming, had load the
https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-gfx-library
so, code compiles , loads fine, nothing happens. if open serial monitor,
i see following;
paint

unknown driver chip 202
then nothing happens on tft
now have gone wiki page , tried download libraries labled 1.0 ide, come corrupt. assuming tft uses driver chip not in library have, seems wierd me, why sell product @ national retail store , not provide required library support it. missing here?
has else gotten shield work uno?

i know doesn't much, new @ well.

i bought couple weeks ago, pretty worked examples me.  on wiki @ seeedstudio, there reference changed chip, , demo code there has statement doesnt work.  it's "if it's using chip, else that"
the statement checks new chip doesnt work @ all, removed of it, leaving contents of "else" clause , worked.

i did not have included library examples however.

i wasn't able work on mega, think mega may having issues isn't working couple other things.

the text output sure primitive it seems, @ least if want print down screen.
